IBM-powered patient portal goes live at Duke University Health
EHR Connection, March 5, 2007
The Duke University Health System in Raleigh has developed a patient portal that allows patients at its three hospitals and 100 outpatient clinics to pay medical bills and schedule physician appointments, and will eventually allow them to access personal health records, the AP/Washington Post reports.
Patients can currently use the Healthview Portal Web only to schedule nonurgent physician appointments and to make payments, but prescriptions, lab and X-ray results, and immunization records will be available through the site in about two months. In several months, the health system plans to add the ability to obtain e-prescriptions, consultations with specialists, and requests for second opinions to the site.
The site is powered by IBM, and it took Duke and IBM 14 weeks to develop.
